I've got a chance to acquire a consecutively numbered pair of unfired Uberti R/M '51 Navy conversions. Nice Guns! Don't 'need 'em' so much as like 'em.

Are these guns strictly for BP or can they handle light smokeless loads?

shoot mine with 18 grains of Goex 2ff

Work great.

I like my Uberti 51 navy conversion. Smooth and no glitches and a super shooter. All I have shot is black, but I wouldn't hesitate to shoot smokeless.

You can shoot smokeless in them all day long.  I shoot a pair as main match guns constantly.  You will want/need to correct the fit of the barrel/arbor and run a mite lighter main spring.  They make great CAS pistols!!!
